Artist Daniel Mazzone has a remarkable life story.

Mazzone is a self-taught artist who was once living on the streets on Toronto, Ontario, after leaving his home at the age of 15.

He was jobless, homeless, and had no means to create any type of artwork.

Five years later, Mazzone completed high school, and then university. He worked in finance, but he knew that this wasn’t the right path for him.

In 2011, Mazzone’s life took another turn. He had hung his first portrait in a restuarnt where he use to work, and a passerby purchased the piece $14,000 (even though it wasn’t for sale).

Today, his artwork has caught the eyes of high-profile clients like Marcus Stroman and Jose Bautista.

To hear more about the artwork, watch the interview with Daniel Mazzone in the video above.
